partyarrivalcurve
/ˈpɑːti əˈraɪvəlˌkɜːv/nounVerified NewAlso in: Festankunftskurve (Deutsch) · llegadacurva (Español) · arrivocourbe (Français)
The statistical wave of guest arrivals that begins forty minutes after the stated time, always.
The partyarrivalcurve peaks at the stated time plus forty and flattens by the food. Its physics are universal and its lag is cited by nobody, because everyone runs it. Hosts cook to the curve, and the early bird guest sits with them in the kitchen, which is the best seat in the house.
Etym. — party arrival + curve — the bell-shaped truth of the start time.
